Unexpected T_variable

[furious5]

I have created a SQL query which is created on the fly dependent on a users search.

Having tested the code I am getting the following error:

Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_VARIABLE, expecting ',' or ';' in d:\php\record.php

The code it is falling over at is this:

$strSQL = mysql_query($sql);

Anyone any ideas why its falling over?

Please disregard, the problem is with the line above lacking a semi colon
